Mia Asano is an electric violinist known for blending classical training with modern performance and digital creativity. Based in the U.S., she has built a global audience through her genre-spanning approach—spanning rock, pop, classical, Celtic, and more.
Classically trained from a young age, Mia studied at the Denver School of the Arts before continuing at Berklee College of Music, where she focused on performance and contemporary music. Her foundation in both classical technique and modern production informs a style that moves fluidly between traditional repertoire and contemporary arrangements.
She has performed alongside a range of notable artists including Lindsey Stirling and has collaborated with musicians across pop, rock, and orchestral settings. Her experience spans live touring, ensemble performance, and studio work—bringing a level of versatility that defines her approach to the instrument.
Mia began sharing short-form performance videos online while developing her recording and editing skills. Early releases quickly gained traction, with one video reaching millions of views within days and establishing a rapidly growing audience across platforms. Since then, her work has been featured by outlets including the BBC, NBC, and The Washington Post, with multiple performances reaching global audiences.
Mia performs on a 7-string fretted Viper, using its extended range and precision to expand what’s possible on the instrument.
“My Viper changed my life in so many ways. Having the extended range opened up a completely new level of creativity and freedom for me.”
Her work reflects a broader vision for the violin, one that moves beyond traditional boundaries and explores new possibilities in sound, performance, and modern storytelling.
